VEGREEN Nature Skin Mucin Face Serum Fortified w/Wild Yam Extract | Korean Hydrating Face Serum Barrier Repair Moisturizer for All Skin Types | Ceramide-Enriched Glass Skin Face Glow Serum 1.69 fl oz

I am a 45 year old woman who is a licensed cosmetologist and I use to be a Senior Education Consultant for Sephora so I would give training refreshers on existing products and also train staff on the latest in skin care and makeup etc. I have been interested in snail mucin for a while since I have extremely dry skin (so dry it literally flakes and hurts) however, I also have tendency to develop contact dermatitis and with the correlation between snail/shellfish/dust mite allergies I never wanted to risk an allergic reaction by using snail mucin on my skin.I had heard about wild yam mucin as an alternative to snail but products with wild yam are impossible to find. Vegreen is an almost brand new Korean skin care line. Their first Instagram post is from September 2020 so they are only a few months old. I read some of the reviews by influencers that they sent the product to and the most common comment was “was skin feels super moisturized” and although several noted no other real benefit besides moisture, I was like, “um, hello! Sign me up!”. I use glycolic peals, ceramides, peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, facial oils, and my skin is still dry, dull, and flaky. Could mucin be my answer?So I ordered the product and it arrived yesterday. Packaging is lovely, (eco friendly), and it was actually more product than I expected as “luxury”brands usually only give you an ounce of serum and this is 1.69 oz. so pleasant surprise as I actually didn’t check for volume when I ordered.Anyway, I used this for the first time last night and holy cow I was glowing this morning! My skin also felt soft, bouncy, and supple-something it never does during New England winters! Also my deep forehead wrinkles just seemed less noticeable to me but maybe that was my wishful thinking. (Although the additional hydration on my super parched skin may have actually helped).Texture is thin, thicker than water but much thinner than a lot of serums I’ve used in the past. Product is fragrance free, clear, spreads easily and absorbs quickly. I notice my skin feels tighter to me after application and a little sticky but nothing bothersome. I wasn’t planning on going anywhere today but I washed my face first thing in the morning just so I could reapply this stuff! I really hope this brand succeeds and this product sticks around because this stuff is great for dry skin!!!

First, I'm writing this review assuming this seller is ACTUALLY Vegreen. I say that because my bottle of this serum arrived in its box but without its cap; plus, the pump looks like it had been dinged. I don't know if my bottle had been dropped at some point in its production/packing cycle, but I did wonder if I had gotten a legitimate product. However, many content creators I follow link to this store as an official place to get this item (even those doing Vegreen-sponsored content), so I'm proceeding as if it is.Now that I've said that: I LOVE this serum. I loved it from the very first application. I've tried actual snail mucin products, and though I know they are beloved by many, I didn't really care for them. But this. This is hydrating and cooling and soothing and not at ALL sticky. I apply it after a toner, with my face still pretty damp. It takes a minute to fully absorb, but even that minute is a welcome moment of luxury because it feels so good. It even contains a copper peptide, which for some reason the brand isn't really promoting, which seems like a missed opportunity to me. I'm even thinking of paring down the serums in my routine to this one, which is saying a lot given my penchant to serum hop.

It has same thickness as normal serums not normal snail mucin. This may come as a relief to some people. I do have a snail mucin serum that is thick without being snot like though and a snail cream, so it depends on the product and concentration. Snail mucin has been only product to keepy skin hydrated without making it greasy. This is nice it is not snotty , it is vegan, it does make skin sticky but it is temporary (until it absorbs ). Example is I put it on after cleansing at 7am and I finished morning routine and I noticed at 8am when I was finished getting ready it was already dry. My skin fet completely dry yet smooth, soft, and moisturized. So it functions just as good and is vegan. I feel less disgusted using yam than snail but when your face is painful dry you will use the only thing that works.

I’ve only been using this for about 3 days, but I can already feel the difference in my skin. Before, it would be dry by the middle of the day. Now, it stays moisturized until I wash it. My skin feels like it’s retaining moisture.It’s very lightweight, it sinks into the skin very easily, it’s not sticky (in my opinion), and it WORKS! I can’t wait to keep using it and seeing results!

This is actually a nice vegan snail mucin serum. It is very hydrating, effective, makes your complexion soft and glass like. Excellent value for the money, but I had a reaction to it. It made my cheeks red and irritated. It is a shame, because I did like everything else about the product.

After using this for a few months, I've noticed an improvement in my scars-most are vanishing slowly, being replaced by skin that looks smooth and normal. It leaves your skin soft and ready for your regular routine.For those interested in ingredient percentages:SerumWorks for:based on ingredients and %MoisturizingAnti-agingEvens skin toneShow moreCan it cause trouble?Irritation risk: lowComedogenic risk ingredients: 0Key activesNiacinamide2.5% - 3.8%Panthenol6.4% - 9.6%Ceramide np0.1% - 0.45%Acetyl hexapeptide-80.85% - 1.25%Copper tripeptide-10.5% - 1.15%Palmitoyl pentapeptide-40.4% - 0.95%Palmitoyl tripeptide-10.4% - 1%Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-70.35% - 0.8%Glycerin4.7% - 7%Arginine1.3% - 2%Caprylic/capric triglyceride0.15% - 0.6%
